Also called 'pipe taps' - National Pipe Taper (NPT) taps are appropriate for threading a wide variety of materials both ferrous and non-ferrous. Carbon steel NPT pipe taps are designed to clean and or re-thread damaged or jammed pipe threads They are appropriate for threading a wide variety of materials both ferrous and non-ferrous NPT threads require the use of a sealer like teflon tape or pipe compound.
3/8"-18 NPT Carbon Steel Pipe Tap
- Carbon steel NPT pipe taps are designed to clean and or re-thread damaged or jammed pipe threads
- They are appropriate for threading a wide variety of materials both ferrous and non-ferrous
- The nominal size of a Pipe Tap is that of the pipe fitting to be tapped, not the actual size of the tap The thread tapers 3/4 of an inch per foot. All Pipe Taps furnished with a 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 thread chamfer
- NPT threads require the use of a sealer like teflon tape or pipe compound.

Highlights
- Carbon steel pipe taps are designed to clean and or re-thread damaged or jam pipe threads
- Uncoated tools feature just the base substrate without any additional treatment or coatings and are suitable for a wide range of applications
- Straight flute tools allow chips to collect in the flutes as they cut and are well suited for most applications in shallow cuts
- Appropriate for threading a wide variety of materials both ferrous and non-ferrous
- Nominal size of a pipe tap is that of the pipe fitting to be tapped, not the actual size of the tap
